Paul Tauer, who served the city of Aurora for 24 years, eight as a councilman and 16 years as mayor, has died. He was 86.
Tauer, a Republican, guided Aurora through periods of mass growth and progress. He was the city’s mayor in 1995 when Denver International Airport opened, helping to steer negotiations with Denver on the airport’s creation. Tauer was mayor when the E-470 beltway was built and headed the city when the former Fitzsimons Army Medical Center gave way to the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center.
“Paul Tauer was one of Colorado’s great mayors. His battles with Wellington Webb, Denver’s great mayor, were epic, and in many ways established Aurora as a major city,” said Sen. John Hickenlooper, in a statement. “He negotiated the geometry of the light rail system, FasTracks, so that it benefited both cities. He was a relentless and fierce champion for the people of Aurora.”“He was a great mayor of Aurora and he put Aurora on the map,” Webb said.
“The First Amendment says, ‘freedom of religion’ not ‘freedom from religion,’ ” Tauer said at the time.
